I picked up this Marvel Avengers and Other Heroes #2 magazine at the local Dollar Tree this morning. The cover features Iron Man, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel and Count Dracula. Most of it is dedicated to the Marvel Avengers Secret Wars story titled "Wings in the Night!" The Avengers (Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Iron Man and Vision) battles Count Dracula as Chthon possesses his body. There are activities like mazes, match games, puzzles and how to draw. Members of the Guardians of the Galaxy only appear once on a match game page. Spider-Man and his friends also appear only once with a two-page crossword puzzle (this should have been devoted to the Avengers). Overall, the magazine is not bad for the price, but I have the feeling that I have read this story before.

Hellhunters #1 and #2 Covers
Marvel dropped Hellhunters #1 last month and #2 today. The series takes place in Nazi-occupied France in June, 1944. Characters include Logan before he was Wolverine (he appears in the second issue), Sgt. Sal Romero who becomes a Ghost Rider, Nick Fury before the eye patch, Peggy Carter and Sebastian Szardos aka Soldier Supreme (merges Captain America and Doctor Strange). It's a pretty good horror series so far with demonic Nazis and Bucky should be joining the group next issue (yes, he's on the cover of the first issue but doesn't appear in the story).

Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish #1 Cover
Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish #1 came out yesterday. The cover features Storm, Captain America (the Sam Wilson version), Spider-Man (the Miles Morales version), Kitty Pryde, Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Ben Grimm and Spider-Man (the Peter Parker version). The three stories include the Fantastic Four in "'Twas the Fight Before Christmas", the Uncanny X-Men in "Festival of Fights" and the Spectacular Spider-Men in "Resolutions". Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman and the Human Torch does appear in the Fantastic Four story along with the Thing. Several other Marvel superheroes appear briefly in the first two stories. Shame that none of the stories are centered around Captain America (the Sam Wilson version) or Doctor Strange like the cover suggests. At least, Storm and Wolverine appear more in the X-Men story that is about Kitty Pryde trying to find gifts for her friends.

Avengers: Infinity War DVD
Avengers: Infinity War is another Marvel movie that I have yet to watch all the way through in one setting. I usually miss the beginning so I was glad to find this DVD at the local Dollar General. The price was only $4.95 and now I can finally watch it all the way through. There are so many superheroes from Doctor Strange to Spider-Man on the front cover that I couldn't tag all of them.

Treasure Hunt Doctor Strange DVD
I hit the jackpot at the local Dollar General yesterday. Among the items that I found was this Treasure Hunt Doctor Strange DVD for $2.95. It doesn't have the case and is previously viewed but I couldn't resist at that price. I watched the movie on one of the movie channels but never bought the DVD.

T-shirt Thursday: White Marvel Characters T-shirt
I picked up this white Marvel Characters t-shirt at the local Walmart's last week for almost nine dollars. The artwork is not the best but it does have that hand-drawn feel. The Marvel characters include Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hawkeye, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Moon Knight (yeah, he's a little hard to see at first), Black Widow, Black Panther (I think it's him), She-Hulk, Daredevil, Silver Surfer, Thor, Doctor Strange, Human Torch, Wasp, Ant-Man, Thing, Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Cyclops (another one that's hard to make out) and Iron Fist. The pictures shows it draped over my office chair so you can only see the bottom of the Marvel logo.

Doctor Strange Pocket Pop Keychain
I have been saving up my points at Disney Movie Insiders in hopes of getting something special for my fifty-eighth birthday, which was the day before Valentine's Day. I missed out on the unique Valentine pop exclusive since it sold out fast. A week later, I had two pocket pop keychains to choose from: Ant-Man Pocket Pop Keychain for 400 points or Doctor Strange Pocket Pop Keychain for 800 points. I had enough points for the latter but not for both. The Doctor Strange Pocket Pop Keychain arrived in today's mail. It does not stand up on its own due to the huge head and small body so I'm glad that I grabbed a shot of it from the website. I still need to watch the Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness movie. This makes my fifth Marvel-related Pocket Pop Keychain.

Hot Wheels Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: America Chavez Car
I picked up this America Chavez Hot Wheels car last week. Xochitl Gomez played her in Marvel's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie. I have heard of America Chavez but I don't remember reading any comic book that she was in. I'm totally clueless about her other than she is also known as the second Miss America.

Hot Wheels Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: Scarlet Witch Car
Elizabeth Olsen reprised her role as the Scarlet Witch in Marvel's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie. I picked up the Hot Wheels car last week at the local Walmart's for $4.47. I love the artwork on the card that shows her in all her glory.

Hot Wheels Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: Doctor Strange Car
I have yet to watch Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness movie but I don't think Benedict Cumberbatch drove this kind of car as Marvel's Master of the Mystic Arts. I finally broke down and bought this Hot Wheels Character Car and there is eight in the set. However, I only managed to find four at the local Walmart's. The price was $4.47 and was more expensive than the regular Hot Wheels cars, which is probably why I didn't pick them up last year.

T-shirt Tuesday: Periodic Table of Marvel
Wow, I haven't bought a t-shirt since the Black Panther Starry T-shirt back in 2021. I found this Periodic Table of Marvel t-shirt earlier today while I was shopping for a thermal shirt at the local Walmart's. The price was a whopping $8.98 and the fabric is a little on the thin side. It's black with faces of superheroes and supervillains from Marvel Comics. The superheroes include Spider-Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hulk, Black Panther, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Thor, Vision, Doctor Strange, She-Hulk, Nova, Black Bolt, Clea, Ant Man, Wasp, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Falcon, Lockjaw, Rocket Raccoon, Spider-Woman and Ghost Rider. The supervillains include Venom, Green Goblin, Thanos, Liki, Red Skull, Hel, Baron Zemo, Dormammu, MODOCK and Ultron.

T-shirt Tuesday: New Marvel T-shirt For 2021
I actually picked up this Marvel t-shirt back in January for three dollars at the local Walmart's. Since it was such a great price, I got two of them. Superheroes from Marvel Comics that appear on the t-shirt include Daredevil, She-Hulk, Falcon, Thor, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, Wasp, Hawkeye, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man and Black Widow.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2020 Day 1: Avengers Infinity War Valentines With Thumb Tattoos
Each thumb tattoo is 1" x 1-1/2" and includes such Marvel superheroes as Vision, Hulk, Iron Man, Groot, Black Panther, Black Widow, Doctor Strange and Spder-Man
Eight Valentine cards are all connected on a strip and there are four strips. The first four includes Black Widow, Iron Man, Black Panther and Steve Rogers not in his Captain America costume.
The backs of the first four Valentine cards:
The last four includes Vision, Thor, Spider-Man and Thanos, who gets an extra wide one since he's so big.
The back of the extra wide Thanos Valentine card not only includes him but also includes the movie version of Doctor Strange in a circle and the comic version of Scarlet Witch.
There is also a sheet of 32 red heart stickers that I didn't scan. Overall, the artwork on the Valentine cards and thumb tattoos are not bad.
